Less Brains, Why would anybody listen to you? You had Cameron in CF and Ellsbury as 4th Ofer. Pretty much what you say is clownish and ridiculous. You finally have quit taliking about Ells in every post because he made you look so dumb.

There is nothing more ridiculous than when fans of any team propose trades; ask yourself this question; how many hypothetical trades seen on this board (or anywhere else, for that matter, where fans are involved in the discussion) ever occurred? Even the expert media suggest longshots, at best.

since he would be a Type A Free Agent. The Red Sox trade an alright prospect for two first round picks.

That isn't how it works. It depends upon who signs him and it is not two first round picks, it is a supp. pick 2. In addition, new CBA will likey have changes. Lastly, most draft picks, even first rounders, never attain MLB staying power.

I don't think Wright is a lock for 2 top picks either. A year is a long time and he has been trending down. If they trade him they also lose their option year. This one ain't happening.

I'm not convinced Middlebrooks is who he is projected to be either. Hopefully he is. He looks the part. Will be be the part? Still way up in the air. One good year in the minors ( to me ) and even then he hit .285 or so with a .328 OBP if I remember correctly, albeit with good pop last year. It is way to early to annoint this guy. He is not our top prospect to me.

The reason for that is that most fans (and writers) think about player skills, and not managing a 40-slot roster. They simply don't get it, probably never will.

Like I said it on the other post. Do your homework before you make a trade!!!

David Wright had a stress facture in his lower back which force him to miss two months during 2011 season.

And you want him to be playing 3B for the 2012 season with his balky back problem?

Red Sox could start next season with possible up to five injure proned players (Lowrie, Youkilis, Bucholtz, Jenk and Dice K) on the opening day roster but one is more likely not going to be on the opening day roster which that is Dice K. Then I am seeing this trade proposal??

If Mets offer David Wright for Middlesbrook straight up this winter, do you accept this offer if you were a GM of the RS organization?Posted by seannybboi

I would like to see more of Middlebrooks in AAA this season to see what he has but I'm also not against packaging him. I have heard and read a mixed bag on this kid. A trade straight up for Wright would probably never happen. A more likely scenerio would be what I suggested originally by some how working a trade that includes Lackey & Middlebrooks. Or, throw in one other prospect like Reddick, Kalish or Weiland for Wright.

You would have to make it worth wild for the Mets to take Lackey. I think Wright would have a lot of success at Fenway. It would give us the opportunity to flip Youk in a package for a pitcher to a team like the Brewers who may lose Fielder, or play Youk at DH and save Davids money towards a pitcher.
